Thank you for your anticipated cooperation."

This "contract attorney coordinaTTTor" needs to develop some thicker skin. If you pay highly educated, licensed people garbage wages, you can anticipate that others will take issue with your business practices.

Tom, the legal action is a bluff. Let them sue, get the Electronic Frontier Foundation to slam the Coordinatttor and recover counsel fees. This reminds me of the a Jersey small town that sued a blogger that was exposing its corrupt practices. The case was dismissed.

Oh by the way, while I was wasting $100 grand and three years of my life in law school, I've learned that there is a difference between fact (for example "I've seen pictures of that attorney from Fitzpatrick Cella blowing donkeys in Tijuana"), and an opinion (i.e. "that attorney is an insufferable bitch"). Now, claiming that she blew donkeys in Tijuana would be considered defamation (unless of course its true, which would be a legal defense). However, stating an opinion, specifically that she's a lousy bitch, would not be considered defamation.

So just to clarify, I am not stating that she blows donkeys in Tijuana and that there are pictures on the internet circulating proving that. All I am saying is that she is a lousy, insufferable bitch. And that, in and of itself, is NOT defamation.

Well you can write that she has donkey sex and it's still okay. You just can't say that she is a skank or whore or has prostituted herself in any way. Ah the beauty of our female pandering legal system!

Good post and timely too. Who would've thought that people judge these firms based on comments in blog posts?

I wonder of CoordinaTTTor had permission from Fitzpatrick had permission to threaten TTT. I'm guessing NOT, and also that it is a bad idea generally - because now the shit's really flowing about bad experiences there.

Maybe one day some big-client GC will get to reading posts like these and wondering why these firms charge such a big markup, if the firms are supposedly treating the contract attys like shit and paying them a below-market wage. Those client dollars sure don't seem to be flowing into our pockets. Or maybe the GC will wonder why work took longer than expected or why reviewers kept leaving midway through.

"American Lawyer Media, Zeughauser Group and communications firm Greentarget surveyed 164 in-house counsel about their social media habits. Lo and behold, they are making use of blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to get their legal information… and, perhaps more interestingly, to judge law firms."

I know a dude who's like 900K in debt, graduated from law school in 2007, and has only been working as a part-time banquet server at Harrah's in Vegas. He got a subprime loan on a prefab home and spent $247,000 on a "law degree" from the Michael Spano Law School, a failed online school that was briefly granted provisional approval in Nevada. Now, the bank foreclosed, he lost his gig at Harrah's, his stripper girlfriend left him for an assistant manager at Jack-in-the-Box, and he's living as a tweaker with his pet desert tortoise on the banks of Flamingo Wash, behind the Jason's Deli parking lot on Maryland Parkway in Vegas.

I worked here as a receptionist a few years ago. The entire management is made up of pretentious snobs who care about how things look instead of your work ethic. I miss old New York where pay was high, rent was low and these stuck up ivy leaguers didn't swarm NY.

In all the states of the United States, one of the most commonly violated regulations is the traffic laws. As a result, in several states the laws have been made very strict. One such instance of revised regulation is "Driving under Intoxication".
